THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTUIlr. OREGON. FRIDAY, DECEMBER it, 19054 ONE FIEND TOO- MANY. DlatnrW the Aadleae Lee Thea the Artara, Cp to the year 1746 there seems to hare been no regular and permanent theater la Scotland. In that year tbt foundation atone of tbo Canongate the ater was laid by Lscy Ryan of Um Co- rent Garden theater, London. At the price then coatomary Tin, 2a. ML, la. 4. and la. a full house waa worth from 60 to B. On special occaelons. audi aa the benefit of a popular actor. a much aa 70 waa taken, but ouly by admitting apectatora to the wings and trea to the stare Itself. Sometimes the stage waa so crowded la thla way that the actort bad not sufficient room to carry out their "business properly end. If engaged In a duel, had to abort' en tnelr lunges for rear or pinking a patron. It la to the credit of Garrick that be was the first to set his face against this abuse and to close the Stage door even to a prince of the blood. Those were days In which every the ' Ster led a precartoua existence. Actors were barely tolerated. They were to tally "Tag bond." Their profession was considered Unmoral not only by the great bulk of the public, but, la a ' way, by themselTee, A curious Illus tration of this bad been afforded a lit tle while before at a theater la London U play called "The Sorcerer" (titles repeat themselves) a dance of fiends was to be performed. They were mask ed and dressed In the usual manner, with all the Dantesque accessories to make them terrible. They were twelve tn number. But In the midst of their performance they discovered, to -their horror, that a thirteenth had Joined himself to them. This, waa too much for the actors. Conscious of the fact that they were . considered by most men It candidates for the special attentions of the arch fiend, they fled la all directions before the unwelcome visitor, If haply they might yet escape the destruction which they believed wss coming upon them. Owing to this general stampede the . supernumerary devil was never un masked. But when the panic was over . It waa remembered that there was a thirteenth Infernal toilet, which might have been assumed for the occasion by some practical Joker. At the time. however, the direct Interposition of Satan was firmly believed by the ac '. tors and the audience. The actors fled; the audience dispersed to carry to their homes the tidings of this terrible ava tar. And so profoundly did it affect the Imagination of some of the specta tora that they professed to have 'seen the Intruder fly away through the roof of the theater and to have been them selves almost suffocated by the residu ary stench. London Graphic. KlchaUa. As a Christian name Nicholas posi tively came over with the conqueror. He landed In the perish of St Nicholas, at Pevensey. Domesday book contains only one Nlcolaa, undlsflgured ss yet by that Intrusive aspirate, which has also taken undue possession of Antony, though It has dropped out en revanche, from Hadrian and from Hannah. From the conquest on the Nicholases multi plied and were very abundant. I find the name most frequent in mediaeval documents. Nicolas. Breakupear was the only Englishman ever made a pope, Nicholas Ridley was the burned blob op, while Sir Nicholas Bacon was the father of the man who. there Is every Feason to suppose, did not write "Ham let," "Macbeth'' and "Othello." Nicho las Udall, master of Etou, was the au thor of "Ralph Roister -Dolster." the first English comedy. In Scotland the name got shortened Into Nicol, in which form It was borne by many a "kinless loou" as well as by the immortal Bail lie Nicol Jarvie. Pope Nicholas VH who founded the Capella NIccollna at the Vatican, gave It a fresh lease of life. But the reformation scotched It It lingered on awhile in some half hearted way and received Its coup de grace from the grotesque combination of Nicholas Nickleby.-Comhill Maga ilue. Tm4 Saint la Palestine, "Wood Mints" are peculiarities of modern Palestine. They are described In a book of travel and exploration, "The Jordan Valley and Tetra," by Dr. Libbcy and Dr. Hoskins. At EI Aba dlyeb, below the sea of Galilee, where the Jordan is fordable, they found their first good specimens of a "wood saint" A couple of straggling trees mark the resting place of some holy Moslem. The grave has made the trees sacred, bus given them a new name, "fakireh" (poor. 1, and has rendered them safe from outrage for ages to come. The grave of the holy man and the sacred trees convert the spot into a sort of sanctuary or "safety deposit," and here the superstitious people bring fire wood, roof timbers, old doors and win dows, agricultural Implements, wooden measures and household vesttels for safe keeping. They are safer here than they could possibly be under lock and key In their wretched homes. 80 It comes to pass that these Moslem "wood saints" are altogether an ei tremeiy useful fraternity. Th Haabare;e and the Rare. The Uapsburgs have a horror of the raven, which, says the London Tatler, has always been a veritable bird of evil to the bouse. When the Emperor Francia Joseph sccepted the Austrian crown a flight. of ravens passed over Olmutc and sent a shiver through his supporters. Before the ill fated Maxi milian started for Mexico a raven fol lowed him and bis wife through the grounds of their csetle of Miramar and fluttered on to the princess' train. When King Alfonso's mother, then an archduchess, left her" native country for Spain a raven escorted her to the mil ay statlo.8, .More remarkable still ,a nuire raren tleVr Thto t35 race of tnt Empreae KUsabeth the flay before aba I 'wii murdered at Geneta.
